      POETRY OF THE SUPERNATURAL

      [3:1]

      Lafcadio Hearn, in his Interpretations of Literature (one of the most valuable and delightful books on literature which has been written in our time), says: Let me tell you that it would be a mistake to suppose that the stories of the supernatural have had their day in fine literature.
